to summarize so with used games, you can only let friends who have been on your list for over a month have them, but they can only have them once, but you can't borrow a game it has to be given, but you can trade it to a retailer, but the retailer will be charged fees by microsoft, but 3rd parties are now going to have to pay microsoft to let people not borrow games, but up to 10 family members can log in and share your games on any console, and when you're at someone elses' house to play your game (because we all go to our friends houses to play our own games) you can do that because its stored in a cloud, but anyone can play any game on your own console (no crap) kinect will always be on, unless you don't want it to be on, to which you can turn it off, but some games will need to have it on, but it wont record your conversations or collect data jesus ing crap of christ.... that is the most ridiculous and complicated thing ive ever ing seen (in the video game industry anyway). its a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE what the !!! PUT THE ING DISC IN THE TRAY AND CLICK "PLAY" oh and "as we move into this new generation of games and entertainment, from time to time, Microsoft may change its policies, terms, products and services to reflect modifications and improvements to our services, feedback from customers and our business partners or changes in our business priorities and business models or for other reasons. We may also cease to offer certain services or products for similar reasons." (translation: when we decide we need more money from you, we will make it so that you will have to pay fees to play used games because thats what we really want but if we tell you at launch a bunch of people wont buy the console)

I bet within a year, all the negative feedback will have the xbox getting rid of most of these ludicrous features. Everything is overly complicated and ridiculous, it's like they just took the ramblings of a 5 year old and put them into a business model for a system.

I can see why people are mad, but personally it doesn't bother me either way. I have a full-time job and other commitments, and currently use my Xbox mostly to watch movies or HBO. The few games I buy I just buy new because I end up playing them for months at a time. As long as they don't up Xbox Live, which is near perfect as is, they'll probably get my money.

I heard that if you ain't connected to the Internet for 24 hours, your console bricks up (becomes a paperweight), I may sound like a fanboy and not starting any arguments...but PS4 for me, Sony always

Oh and apparently Microsoft have cancelled their E3 press conference Pre-Party and Panel!
Guess that tells a story how much it will suck.

It should bother you though. All the games and system itself will essentially become useless when the life cycle ends for it. Any game you "buy" doesn't belong to you as you are really just renting it. Not to mention if your internet or Xbox live goes down for more than 24 hours it will just be a big useless box.

Yeaaaahhhh, PS4 for me. The internet thing alone turns me off to it, not to mention the stupid crap with the Kinect having to constantly be on.
You really screwed the pooch on this one, Microsoft.

It seems super convoluted. I'm hoping they explain it in a more clear and concise way at E3.

Well, Microsoft and their poor excuse of a next-gen console can go themselves. I couldn't be more disappointed. I wanted to stick with Microsoft and X-Box, I really did, but not with this bullsh*t piece of garbage they're giving us. I'm converting back to PlayStation. Microsoft and the X-Box One can go right straight to hell.

I'm really trying to see what's better about Xbox One. (In case you're wondering, I've had both a 360 and PS3 since pretty close to launch dates).

About the only reason I could come up with is he prefers the exclusives. That and basically all my friends are on live and plan on getting the One is the reason I am staying with it. If they weren't there then I would easily move to PS4.

That or prefers the controller and achievement system. I cant fault him there, converting everything back to Sony will be hard for me. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 60+ 360 games with several more games in rentals, etc. Where as I can count all the PS3 games I have played/own on my fingers. I just hate the tiny PS3 controller but the new one looks fantastic.

I enjoy achievements, but I would never make that a priority in deciding my future gaming console of choice.

I've decided to stick with Xbox. For a short time I was going to go over to PS4 because I was feeding on all the negativity surrounding the One. However, when it comes down to it, even though I don't agree with their new policies, they really won't impact me and I for one am looking forward to all that it will offer as an all in one entertainment system.
Couple that with the fact that I like the xbox style interface, online and controller better and it's really an easy decision to make.

I honestly have no idea what games to get at launch. I know I want Battlefield 4 and Watch Dogs. But none of launch exclusives (Ryse, Forza, Dead Rising 3) interest me all that much. The setting and premise of Ryse is great, but the gameplay looks shallow and looks like your typical AAA game in that it's all style and no substance.

Watch Dogs COD: Ghost BF4 Madden 25 Those are the initial games I'm looking forward to playing on next Gen. I've also heard that GTAV may be ported over to the next gen. If that's true I hope Saints Row 4 is as well.
